X-ray/TEM Postdoctoral Researcher
POSTDOCTORAL POSITION
Cerdanyola del Vallès (Barcelona), Spain | Materials Science | Research
About The Institution
Institution:
ALBA Synchrotron Light Facility
Department:
Experiments
Service:
Interdisciplinary and Multimodal Section
Location:
Cerdanyola del Vallès, Barcelona, Spain
Job Offer
This postdoctoral position focuses on the development of scientific and technical methods for correlative operando X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) and (Scanning) Transmission Electron Microscopy ((S)TEM), within the framework of the IMPRESS project (Interoperable electron Microscopy Platform for advanced RESearch and Services), funded by HORIZON-INFRA-****-TECH-*****.
The IMPRESS project aims to develop an interoperable platform based on a modular and standardized cartridge concept.
These cartridges are designed for integration into TEM specimen and aperture holders, as well as other instruments used for sample preparation and characterization, including surface science tools, transport measurement systems, microfocus X-ray tomography instruments and synchrotrons.
Within IMPRESS,



ALBA contributes to the development of a MEMS-based microreactor for correlative photocatalytic experiments in TEM and synchrotron beamlines.
These experiments target CO2 reduction reactions and the generation of high-value products.
The successful candidate will report to the Head of the Interdisciplinary and Multimodal Section and work closely with the Interface X-ray/TEM and Methodology groups, beamline scientists, the Joint Electron Microscopy Center at ALBA (JEMCA), and project partners.
The main focus of the position will be the testing of microreactor prototypes using (S)TEM and X-ray beamlines.
Candidate Profile
Candidates must hold a PhD in Chemistry, Materials Science, Nanotechnology, Physics, or an equivalent field, and have hands?on experience in (S)TEM and/or synchrotron X?ray techniques.
